Synopsis

Exciting Start of a Brand-New Series by a Contemporary Romance Fan Favorite

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother.

The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

Fantastic!

True to You by Becky Wade is a fabulous book. The story follows the love story of Nora who is bookish genealogist who owns a historical village, and former, Navy Seal John Lawson. Nora sets out to find John's birth mother, and that is where the story gets interesting.
What I loved about this story was. . . . everything. I savored this story, and was sad when it ended. Becky Wade is a great storyteller and her writing is thoughtful and drew me closer to the Lord. As a parent of three children through adoption I was very pleased how well the author handled a story dealing with an adoptee's search. She was respectful to all members of the adoption triad.
I definitely recommend True to You. It is the first in a series of three books about the Bradford sisters. I cannot wait for book number 2 in the series which will not be here soon enough!
I was given this book by the publisher and not required to give a positive review.

Five stars! Indubitably!!!

In this new series by a favorite author, we meet some great characters that readers will be getting to know better the next couple of years. I love how well developed all of the characters are.
I smiled as a couple of guys from a previous series poked their heads in to say hello and am now looking forward to the rest of this series even more than I already was, if that's at all possible. I also wanted to smack a couple of people. LOL It's great when an author can pull multiple emotions from you in such a short amount of time.
A good story will keep your attention even though a lot of it may be predictable. A great story will grab you from your blissful state and whack you with a big "no freaking way." Though there are a few surprises in this story, Becky Wade threw a huge curve ball just as I was relaxing to enjoying the end of the story. Well done, Ms Wade!!!
Five stars! Indubitably!!!

The Librarian & The SEAL = Fantastic Book!

I love a hero who is the strong, silent type! However, make him vulnerable and that's the ultimate for me! I don't know how Becky Wade keeps crafting such unbelievable families and characters but once again, she's outdone herself! I couldn't imagine that she could create another family as good as her last series, the Porters, but the Bradford girls are going to be just as good, I can tell already. And, the men who love them as also going to be amazing if this first book is any indication! In "True To You", our hero is John and he's the perfect Navy SEAL - strong, silent, gentlemanly, etc. but life has thrown him a big, huge curve and suddenly he's very vulnerable! That's what makes him the perfect hero for me AND the best guy for Nora Bradford, although on paper, you probably wouldn't put the two of them together! Nora is "bookish" and retro and loves all things historical. She's into genealogy and the history of their town, even dressing NOT in the latest fashion! She has been burned badly in relationships and feels things deeply, but still, is such a giver! I loved her and her personality! John needs her for her skills to do something for him and they embark on a journey that neither one of them can imagine the outcome. There are so many twists and turns to their story that you have to just keep expecting the unexpected! I also loved Nora's family and can't wait to delve into their stories more as we get new books! Her sisters are going to be fun as we learning more about them.
**I would highly recommend this book. It's fun, yet soul-searching and is a great way to begin a new series. There are so many things to take away from this book! It's excellent!

A must-read!

I do not even know any other way to start this review other than to say that I just absolutely loved this book!! I have been a devoted reader of Becky Wade's books for years and loved My Stubborn Heart and the Porter Family series, but she has outdone herself this time! I think what I appreciated most was the relationship between two unlikely characters (a former Navy Seal and a book-loving genealogist) that she makes so believable. Nora and John meet when John decides to look for information on his biological parents due to an inherited condition he is diagnosed with and hires Nora to help him in his search. As the search continues and their relationship is developing, they deal with family secrets, guarded hearts due to former heartbreaks, etc. No spoilers here, but there is quite the plot twist at the end. Readers also get to know a little more about the other two Bradford sisters as well in this novel and I really look forward to reading their stories as this series continues.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Great!

This story was an absolute page turner, and a surprising twist; romance, love, grace, and faith threaded through too. Can't wait for the next installment
